Big Tops for Little Tots

*** ALL SESSIONS OF 2012 SMIRKUS CAMP ARE FULL! (Registration launched Nov. 1st and filled in less than one month!) Please call if you are interested in being on a waitlist for Sessions I - V. 802-533-7443, ext. 23. (The waitlists for Smirkling and Intro to Smirkus are closed.) ***

A Smirkling is any kid six to nine years old who needs an easy introduction to the summer circus camp experience before leaping in for a full week or two away from home.

2 Magical Days
Smirkling Camp begins at 8:30 am on Thursday, June 21 and concludes the following day, Friday, June 22 with a circus demonstration at 3:30 pm. There is no day camp option because the overnight stay, a gentle introduction to sleeping away from home, is an integral part of the camp experience. In two full days kids get a real summer Circus Smirkus camp experience, complete with a theme dinner and pie day.

A Special Sampling of Skills
Smirklings get a chance to try all the basic circus skills: manipulations (scarves and spinning plates – the precursors to juggling), balance (low wire and rolling globe), aerials (Spanish Web, Lyra, and static trapeze), tumbling (acrobatics), and lots and lots of clowning.

They even get a chance to "pie" the coaches and counselors!

Of course, our usual strict safety procedures are always in full force.

Don't delay. Our camps fill up fast, starting in the Fall. Campers are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and some camps fill quickly, so apply early to guarantee your place under the Big Top. Register online today or send your registration form by mail or fax with a non-refundable registration fee.

If you have any questions, email us, or call us at 802-533-7443, ext. 23.
